Yesterday afternoon, while they were taking a stroll after lunch, Ono Ken mentioned that Prince Akihito had spent a fortune renovating the garden, especially the Water Bell Cave, which he personally supervised, preserving its century-old history.
At that time, Minamoto Tamako and Fushimi Roku didn't pay much attention. The former simply thought, 'Wow, a century-old history, the royal family really has deep historical roots'; the latter was thinking, 'That rockery looks like it costs a lot, I wonder how much it cost to build such a garden'...
Only Yazaki Momo, due to her journalistic professionalism, noted everything down on a memo.
Now that she mentioned it, both Fushimi Roku and Minamoto Tamako realized something was off—if the Water Bell Cave was supervised by Prince Akihito, then the humming noise it made shouldn't be some kind of mechanism, after all, who would cause trouble for themselves?
